2021 Schedule Simulation (Just for fun)

[NO SIR EEE]

I simulated the 2021 Schedule with a simulation tool on the internet and these are the results:
Vs Bowling Green- W 41-6
Vs PITT- W 30-24
Vs Tenn Tech- W 55-0
@ Florida- L 52-42
@ Mizzou- W 34-10
Vs South Carolina- W 48-24
Vs Ole Miss- W 52-20
@ Bama- L 17-16
@ Kentucky- W 34-19
Vs UGA- W 44-10
Vs South Alabama- W 36-13
Vs Vandy- W 45-10

Like I said, just for fun, but pretty interesting. Final record (10-2 Overall) (6-2 SEC)

@BruisedOrange wondered how Heupel's UCF squad from last year would perform against this same schedule, so I simulated that as well. Results below.

I'll allow it.

 

[zaqhhh]

Were you simming on EA 07?

Because ain't no way in hell are we accomplishing that next year.

 

[mrredskin]

does that work for betting, too? (*fades every pick*)

 

[morristown vol]

Sounds good to me.

No, I wish I had some of those old college games though.

 

[Vol in]

We are not an elite program at the moment. 10-2 should not be the expectation going into 2021. A bowl game, any bowl game, would be a step in the right direction in my opinion. History tells us we can be elite, and I think we will be again, but it's not going to happen until we can string together a few solid bowl seasons and stay away from NCAA sanctions. We might have the guy in place to get us all the way back, time will tell. However, even if he isn't THE guy for the long haul, I think he's the guy that will stabilize the program and get us back to some form of respectability.

We were rooting for a tool last season, so...

Its coming back next year! EA Sports NCAA College Football!

 

[BruisedOrange]

I wonder how Heupel's team last year would perform against that schedule? How much is personnel, and how much is system?

I saw that. Super pumped. I just wish I would've never sold off my old stuff lol.

 

[Probably_in_Class]

That UGA score...

I'll simulate that in a few and I'll add to original post.

As long as you don't count Bama as a win, I'm good with it. I will be very happy with 7-5 next year. Until we can get 90,000 plus fans back in Neyland, we are losing a huge advantage that led to a couple wins a year the last ten years.

MINIMUM we should never finish worse than 8-4 and depending on who our rotating west opponent is, we should finish 9-3 quite often. 10 regular season wins or better, we should hit that every 3-4 years on average. When things are running here as they should, that's what our record should look like.

 

[BruisedOrange]

Anybody wanna bet Heupel had his lawyer run this simulation before he accepted the contract? It all makes sense, now.

Seriously, great change of pace (and tone) NO SIR EEE! A most welcome break from the past week's circular firing squad.

(You're running this sim during a virtual class, aren't you.)

 

[NorCalVol67]

Did you use the 1985 Vols for the simulation?

Haha. Kids are currently in the classroom, they are occupied with a movie.

No way Ole Miss only scores 20, OR Ut Beats Uga. Better wait until UT's Personnel is know before doing Sims. 10&2? More likely 7-5. (8-4 please)

It's a simulation done on the internet man. Settle down.

 

[Chad F]

That's a heck of simulation. Would be great if it turns out that.

No idea whether or not this new coaching regime will be produce anything different from what we've seen on the field during most of the past two decades: underperforming, poorly coached, and undisciplined teams. Hopefully, CJH will change that. Until he shows something on the field, there's no reason to believe we'll be anything other than a 3-win football team.

 

[GoodlettsvilleVol]

I'm thinking the Easter Bunny hops around in the OP's world.

 

[VolBricks]

that must be the 1998 version of UT on that simulation. There is no way the current roster is going 10-2.
